Mondays!!!

Imagine.

Imagine you get up in the morning after a Nice weekend (where you did nothing but eat, sleep, sit lazily, watch the idiot box, waste money for shopping all those things which are absolutely unnecessary at that period of time, catch up with friends and family and so on and so forth)and then you realize it is Monday. Then begins the hurry. Get out of the bed, get ready, catch the cab, go to office, check office mails, reply to them, plan the things to do for at least half the coming week, check gmail, yahoomail, orkut, facebook, reply to them, open Google reader read all the blogs written during the weekend, write a comment to them, and in between do some office work. By this time one of your colleagues pings you and calls for lunch. Now, go for lunch, come back and get back to work, then suddenly you realize you have a meeting in an hour (why do people plan most of the meetings on Mondays??) and hence less working hours, try to complete you work ASAP, come back from the meeting where you hardly say anything but listen to someone who goes on and on, again get back to work, and then you realize it’s time you go home, pack all your things and leave.

Phew!! Tiring isn’t it?? That’s how most of the Mondays are

A Letter to Mom

This post has been in the draft stage from about 2 weeks from now. But when I read this post by IHM, I had the sudden urge to complete this post. So without any delay read on..

Dear Mom,

I never imagined that I would be writing such a letter to you. As they say an idle mind is a devil’s workshop. So today, when I dint have much work in office and was wondering about what to write as a next post in my blog, I thought about you. The love, care and affection you show to us (brother and me). I know that you will never read this but I couldn’t stop myself from my writing about what I feel for you.

In my childhood and adolescent days, I always used to respect working women, as I thought that they are doing a great job by balancing their family and work. I never looked down upon the homemakers but yes, I had a little more respect for the working women. But, as I grew up, my perception changed and it changed for the better because of you. I realized that you as a homemaker did so much for our family without complaining. I know you feel it as your responsibility but you dint have to do it in such a wonderful manner.

LIFE -- Handbook

Ever since I made my entry into WordPress, though i felt like writing on several topics I was waiting and waiting as i thought my first official post here should be something different. But now i realized instead of waiting for writing on a nice topic why don’t i carry on with my usual stuff and then post something different as and when i get such thoughts.So, here I am posting this, which I got as a forwarded message. Liked most of it and hence posting it here

Health:
1. Drink plenty of water.
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

Shifted to WordPress

It's official now. I have moved to Wordpress

I am still not aware of most of the features available in wordpress but then i decided i will explore more. Particularly, I liked the nested comments feature in it. And as there was a facility to move all my earlier posts with the comments to wordpress, i found no reason why i shouldn't move on. However, i will try to post the same posts here also.

Here's my new blog link:

You think you can dance??

First things first, this post is not related to the popular TV show So you think you can dance. I have seen a few episodes of this show and I liked them very much. I even like watching Nach baliye (I saw the 1st and 2nd series and loved it. Though lost interest in the later series. There was a 4th series which was over a month ago I guess). Rajeswari&Varun and Tina&Hussain were my favorite dancing pairs then.

Coming back to the topic, as long as it is concerned with watching dance programs/seeing people dance, I am perfectly O.K, but if anyone asks me to dance then arises the problem. I cannot dance. Period.
Ever heard of the phrase 'when it comes to dancing, i am born with two left legs'? It aptly suits me. I enjoy seeing people dance but when it comes to me, I cannot. The 1st instance when I was forced to dance was when I was in my 1st year of graduation. The seniors gave us a freshers party and all of us were suppose to dance there. I told a number of times that I couldn’t but no one played heed to my excuses. I somehow managed to twist my legs and hands and somehow got out of that situation. Come second year, as I was a senior, no one could force me this time and I happily sat back and watched my friends dance. 3rd year and 4th year, my friends took the responsibility of making me dance and requested to dance. After a lot of requests and orders, I would go on to the dance floor but couldn’t dance :-( would stand there and give company to friends who enjoy dancing.

Once i am out of college, one reason why i was very happy was that i wouldn't have to dance again and even if i do, my friends wouldn't be there who would force me to dance. But then all that happiness vanished with the first office party. Few times, colleagues will ask to dance and few other unlucky times boss would order to dance. One way i found out was, to go to the dance floor, stand for a while and then when no one is noticing, come back and sit in a corner.

Though it’s very easy to dance( By easy I mean not the professional dance, but just the normal dance where people enjoy by moving the hands and legs in some or the other manner) I couldn’t and can't do it. I feel very strange when dancing(attempting to dance). with no offense to those who are dancing, moving your feet and hands like this and like that and all sounds mm.. weird to me. I like the music being played and i like to see people dancing to those tunes, but then when it comes to me, i simply cannot dance. As they say 'pappu can't dance', i become the pappu.

I wonder whether I am the only one like this? or there are at least a few who do not dance. I hope there are at least a few more pappus like me and face similar situations.

An attempt in Poetry

I was wondering whether I could try my hand at poetry,
It always sounded to me like a mystery,
But then I realized it was all about symmetry,
Though it is a little tough, it’s not as hard as trigonometry!

It’s all about finding the right words and how you link,
It is very easy if you think,
And then you realize it is ready even before you blink!

At any point of time, don’t be wary
It is the attitude which you carry,
Your effort will result in a chocolate cake with a cherry,
And at the end you will be making Merry!!!

Do not whine and Cry,
Just give it a Try!!!!!!

So here I sit before my lappy,
Writing this poem which most will think is crappy,
But which is making me feel Very Happy!!!

I finished writing my first poem!! And it turned out to be better than what I had expected it to be :-)

P.S: I feel trigonometry is very easy. But used this word as I could not recollect any other word which will match the symmetry :-)

All Fools Day!!!

Its April 1st and and with just half day gone by I have been fooled twice in the day till now : (

The 1^st instance was a mail from a friend saying that she was getting married. I was very happy for her and even tried calling her. The mobile was switched off. So I sent a messages saying congrats and all. When I continued reading the subsequent replies from my other friends, then I realized it might be an April-fool-trick. And guess what? Only I fell for that trick. All my other friends understood that it was meant to fool us and no one fell for it except me :( (how innocent of me :D ).

That was how my day at office started. As I proceeded with my work, a colleague of mine pinged me and asked if I had read the comment she left on my previous post. As it is I am excited about my blog (I know it may be not too good, but still it’s My Blog and I just love anything related to it). And then she said that she was inspired by my blog and hence she created her own blog on Monday (2days back). I know it was a bit too much but still I fell for it and asked her the blog address. She gave it and when I opened my browser and pasted the link. I got the message that blog doesn’t exist. Just imagine how dumb I was!! Instead of understanding that I was fooled, I pinged her and told her that I am getting this error and asked her to spell the address correctly. It was only after seeing her reply that I realized that I was fooled and that too very badly.

Till date, this was the year where I was fooled by all my friends. Hope next year I will take revenge on them. Till then, all of you who fooled me enjoy the pleasure you obtained by fooling me. For the ‘Greater good’ I sacrificed and let you people enjoy the pleasure of fooling me. :D

After typing all this I realize that the day is not even half gone and I am prone to be fooled again. Will edit the post to add those incidents(If any happen. I hope not!). Please do tell me if you have any such incidents where you/your friends were fooled.
